I just got a 2008 xb12scg. The first thing to go is the exhaust. I had a Hawk pipe on my last Buell and was happy with it, but money isn't as tight these days and the drummer is looking good. I really like the tip on the drummer and have heard that the exhaust note is about as deep as they come. Plus there is a lot of dyno info out there showing a good torque curve. The Hawk is inexpensive and nearly as good but there aren't any good dyno charts out there. I would be particularly interested if anyone had heard the two in person to compare. I want a pipe based on the stock pipe to retain the stock look and chin fairing.
